We cannot please this world,
If we try to please the Lord,
Because Jesus said the truth,
Is like a sharp dividing sword.

To follow the strait and narrow,
Means we'll lose many a friend,
But we receive a great reward,
If we persevere until the end.

Tho our journey may be lonely,
With great perils along the way,
Our sacrifices will be worth it,
On that glorious Judgment Day.
